Earlier this year, LeoVegas Group’s office in Newcastle selected the Newcastle United Foundation as its recipient of their LeoCares donation. In addition to this contribution, the team organized fundraising activities, resulting in a total donation of £5,000 to support the Foundation’s impactful work.
Newcastle United Foundation provides meaningful opportunities to improve the lives of community members. Their programs, which focus on community engagement, education, wellbeing, sports, and personal development, provide life-changing support to individuals.
Caroline Brown, Fundraising Manager at the Newcastle United Foundation, commented:
“On behalf of Newcastle United Foundation, I would like to thank the team at LeoVegas for raising £5,000. The money kindly donated will be essential in supporting the amazing work we do in our disability football sessions. We’re incredibly proud and grateful that you chose to fundraise for us. With your support, we can continue to provide life-changing work in our community.”
To further support their chosen charity, the Newcastle team hosted fundraising initiatives throughout the year. These included a team-building hike in the Lake District and a raffle featuring Newcastle United match tickets.
Michelle McCaig, HR Manager UK, shared her thoughts on the team’s efforts:
“We are thrilled to provide this fundraising to our local charity, supporting great initiatives in our local city. Our colleagues in Newcastle have been awesome in taking part in the fundraising activities over the last 6 months. We are proud of this generosity and great team spirit. As a result, we’ve enjoyed a memorable hike this summer, and many have been lucky winners of Newcastle United match tickets.”
